_ The 50+ Network for Creative Engagement is a coalition being launched by MAC, BEACON at Salisbury University with its GraySHORE Initiative, Wor-Wic Community College, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.  As it grows, the network will add more community-based organizations to bring together a wide variety of stakeholders ranging from educational institutions to health care & community organizations and from non-profits to a wide variety of service providers from the sports, leisure, and recreational sectors.  The planning phase of this initiative is being funded by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore.

This coalition seeks to do the following for the 50+ population:

• Provide for their interests and capabilities
• Tap into their remarkable potential
• Create a hub for engaging them in the civic life of our communities
• Engage them to actively participate in the development and expansion of the NCE network
• Introduce to them all the amenities the Shore can offer AND initiate new ones such as unique continuing education opportunities, special programs, volunteer opportunities, etc
